Zaburi 41

1 Kuom jatend wer. Zaburi mar Daudi. Ngʼama paro joma ok nyal en jahawi; Jehova Nyasaye rese ka chandruok omake.

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: YHWH will deliver him in time of trouble.

2 Jehova Nyasaye biro rite kendo biro miyo obed mangima; Jehova Nyasaye biro gwedhe e piny, kendo ok obi jwangʼe e lwet wasike.

YHWH will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

3 Jehova Nyasaye biro rite e kitandane mar tuo midekre kendo obiro miyo oa malo e kitandane ka ohewore.

YHWH will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

4 Ne awacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kecha; changa, nikech aseketho e nyimi.”

I said, YHWH, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5 Wasika wuoyo kuoma ka chunygi rach koda, kagiwacho niya, “Obiro tho karangʼo mondo nyinge olal chuth?”

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 Sa asaya ma ngʼato obiro nena, to owuondore ni owuoyo kuoma maber, to ei chunye to ofwambo weche, mondo okethgo nyinga eka oa odhi kendo okeyo wechego ne ji.

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

7 Wasika duto kuodho wach kuoma kaachiel kaka ginyalo hinya, chunygi paro gik maricho mogik mondo ohinya, kagiwacho niya,

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8 “Tuo marach osekete piny; ok obi aa malo kama oninde.”

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

9 Koda ka osiepna mane ageno kuome, ngʼat mane chiemo koda, bende osendhoga.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 To in, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie ikecha; chunga malo, mondo achulgi.

But thou, O YHWH, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11 Angʼeyo ni chunyi mor koda, nimar jowasika ok loya.

By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 Itingʼa malo nikech timna makare kendo ichunga e nyimi nyaka chiengʼ.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

13 Pak ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nyaka chiengʼ kendo nyaka chiengʼ.

Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
